Kološanima 1
1 Od Pavla, po volji Božijoj apostola Isusa Hrista i brata Timotija,
Paul, an apostle of Christ Jesus through the will of God, and Timothy my brother, —
2 Svetima koji su u Kolosima i vjernoj braæi u Hristu Isusu: blagodat vam i mir od Boga oca našega i Gospoda Isusa Hrista.
Unto the holy and faithful brethren in Christ that are, in Colosse, favour unto you, and peace, from our God and Father.
3 Zahvaljujemo Bogu i ocu Gospoda svojega Isusa Hrista, moleæi se svagda za vas,
We are giving thanks unto God, the Father of our Lord Jesus [Christ], always, for you, offering prayer, —
4 Èuvši vjeru vašu u Hrista Isusa, i ljubav koju imate k svima svetima,
Having heard of your faith in Christ Jesus and of the love which ye have unto all the saints, —
5 Za nad ostavljeni vama na nebesima, za koji naprijed èuste u rijeèi istine jevanðelja,
Because of the hope that is lying by for you in the heavens, of which ye heard before, in the word of the truth of the glad-message,
6 Koje je u vama, kao i u svemu svijetu, i plodno je i raste, kao i u vama, od onoga dana kako èuste i razumjeste blagodat Božiju u istini,
When it presented itself unto you; even as, in all the world also, it is bearing fruit and growing, even as also among you, from the day when ye heard, and came personally to know the favour of God in truth,
7 Kao što i doznaste od Epafrasa, ljubaznoga našeg drugara u služenju, koji je za vas vjerni sluga Hristov,
Even as ye learned [it] from Epaphras, our beloved fellow-servant, who is faithful in our behalf, as a minister of the Christ,
8 Koji nam i javi vašu ljubav u duhu.
Who also hath made evident unto us your love in spirit.
9 Toga radi i mi od onoga dana kako èusmo ne prestajemo za vas moliti se Bogu i iskati da se ispunite poznanjem volje njegove u svakoj premudrosti i razumu duhovnome,
For this cause, we also, from the day when we heard [of you], cease not, in your behalf, praying and asking—that ye may be filled unto the personal knowledge of his will, in all spiritual wisdom and discernment,
10 Da živite pristojno Bogu na svako ugaðanje i u svakome dobrom djelu da budete plodni, i da rastete u poznanju Božijemu,
So as to walk worthily of the Lord, unto all pleasing, in every good work, bearing fruit, and growing in the personal knowledge of God,
11 Jaèajuæi svakom snagom po sili slave njegove, i u svakom trpljenju i dugom podnošenju s radošæu;
With all power, being empowered, according to the grasp of his glory, unto all endurance and long-suffering with joy,
12 Zahvaljujuæi Bogu i ocu, koji nas prizva u dijel našljedstva svetijeh u vidjelu;
Giving thanks unto the Father that hath made you sufficient for your share in the inheritance of the saints in the light,
13 Koji nas izbavi od vlasti tamne, i premjesti nas u carstvo sina ljubavi svoje,
Who hath rescued us out of the authority of the darkness, and translated [us] into the kingdom of the Son of his love;
14 U kome imamo izbavljenje krvlju njegovom i oproštenje grijeha;
In whom, we have our redemption—the remission of our sins, —
15 Koji je oblièje Boga što se ne vidi, koji je roðen prije svake tvari.
Who, is an image of the unseen God, Firstborn of all creation, —
16 Jer kroz njega bi sazdano sve što je na nebu i što je na zemlji, što se vidi i što se ne vidi, bili prijestoli ili gospodstva ili poglavarstva, ili vlasti: sve se kroza nj i za nj sazda.
Because, in him, were created all things in the heavens and upon the earth, the things seen and the things unseen, whether thrones or lordships or principalities or authorities, —they all, through him and for him, have been created,
17 I on je prije svega, i sve je u njemu.
And, he, is before all, and, they all, in him, hold together;
18 I on je glava tijelu crkve, koji je poèetak i prvoroðeni iz mrtvijeh, da bude on u svemu prvi;
And, he, is the head of the body, the assembly, Who is the beginning, Firstborn from among the dead, in order that, he, might become, in all things, himself, pre-eminent; —
19 Jer bi volja oèina da se u nj useli sva punina,
Because, in him, was all the fullness well pleased to dwell,
20 I kroza nj da primiri sve sa sobom, umirivši krvlju krsta njegova, kroza nj sve, bilo na zemlji ili na nebu.
And, through him, fully to reconcile all things unto him, making peace through the blood of his cross, —[through him]—whether the things upon the earth or the things in the heavens;
21 I vas koji ste nekad bili odluèeni i neprijatelji kroz pomisli u zlijem djelima,
And, you, who at one time were estranged and enemies in your mind in your wicked works, yet, now, hath he fully reconciled,
22 A sad vas primiri u tijelu mesa njegova smræu njegovom, da vas svete i bez mane i bez krivice izvede preda se;
In his body of flesh, through means of his death, to present you holy and blameless and unaccusable before him, —
23 Ako samo ostanete u vjeri utemeljeni i tvrdi, i nepokretni od nada jevanðelja, koje èuste, koje je propovijedano svoj tvari pod nebom, kojemu ja Pavle postadoh sluga.
If, at least, ye are abiding still in the faith, founded and firm, and not to be moved away from the hope of the glad-message which ye have heard, which hath been proclaimed in all creation which is under heaven, —of which, I Paul, have become minister.
24 Sad se radujem u svojemu stradanju za vas, i dovršujem nedostatak nevolja Hristovijeh na tijelu svojemu za tijelo njegovo koje je crkva,
Now, am I rejoicing in the sufferings on your behalf, and am filling up the things that lack of the tribulations of the Christ, in my flesh, in behalf of his body, which is the assembly,
25 Kojoj ja postadoh sluga po naredbi Božijoj koja mi je dana meðu vama da ispunim rijeè Božiju,
Of which, I, have become minister—according to the administration of God which hath been given unto me to you-ward, to fill up the word of God,
26 Tajnu koja je bila sakrivena od postanja svijeta i naraštaja, a sad se javi svetima njegovijem, (aiōn g165)
The sacred secret which had been hidden away from the ages and from the generations, but, now, hath been made manifest unto his saints— (aiōn g165)
27 Kojima Bog naumi pokazati kako je bogata slava tajne ove meðu neznabošcima, koje je Hristos u vama, nad slave;
Unto whom God hath been pleased to make known what is the glorious wealth of this sacred secret among the nations, which is Christ in you, the hope of the glory, —
28 Kojega mi propovijedamo svjetujuæi svakoga èovjeka, i uèeæi svakoj premudrosti, da pokažemo svakoga èovjeka savršena u Hristu Isusu.
Whom we are declaring, admonishing every man, and teaching every man, in all wisdom, in order that we may present every man complete in Christ;
29 Za što se i trudim i borim po njegovoj moæi koja u meni silno èini.
Unto which I am even toiling, contending according to his energy which is energising itself in me with power.
